  • A federal judge indicated he would not rule immediately on whether Giuliani will face civil sanctions for failing to turn over some assets.

Rudy Giuliani testified at a contempt hearing in Washington, D.C., where lawyers for two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, are seeking a $148 million judgment against him. This legal action stems from Giuliani's false claims that Freeman and Moss committed election fraud during the 2020 election, claims which were part of broader efforts to challenge the election results. Giuliani, who has already been found liable for defamation, appeared in court to address his failure to comply with discovery requests, which has led to accusations of contempt. His testimony comes amidst financial difficulties, as he has been unable to pay his legal fees and has been selling his apartment. The election workers' attorneys are pushing for sanctions due to Giuliani's non-compliance with court orders to provide financial documents, aiming to enforce the significant financial penalty against him.
